Feature Of The Week
Optical Coherence Tomography continues to make tremendous progress in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease and second generation systems have accelerated that progress. The Thoraxcenter has been a leading organizations in this field as can be seen by clicking the Cardiology tag an scrolling down to "Organizations in the News". Described below is some recent work by Nico Bruining et al which discusses fully automatic three-dimensional quantitative analysis of intracoronary OCT.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most diagnosed pathologies in humans and still one of the leading causes of death. Although great progress has been made in treatment of CAD, for both acute interventions as well as pharmacological treatment, there is still much room for further improvements. Research in this area is heavily depending on coronary artery imaging and to study into detail coronary atherosclerosis mostly intracoronary imaging methods are applied. Until recently intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS) was the de-facto imaging method of choice for studies in which new interventional techniques (e.g. new stent designs) and/or pharmacological treatments (e.g. atherosclerosis progression-regression) were applied.

The ability to measure airway dimensions is important for clinicians, interventional bronchoscopists and researchers in order to accurately quantify structural abnormalities and track their changes over time or in response to treatment. Most quantitative airway measurements are based on X-ray computed tomography and, more recently, on multidetector computed tomography. Quantitative bronchoscopic techniques have also been developed, although these are less widely employed.

Automated segmentation of tissue structures in optical coherence tomography data
Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Jun 25 2009)
Segmentation of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images provides useful information, especially in medical imaging applications. Because OCT images are subject to speckle noise, the identification of structures is complicated. Addressing this issue, two methods for the automated segmentation of arbitrary structures in OCT images are proposed. The methods perform a seeded region growing, applying a model-based analysis of OCT A-scans for the seed's acquisition. The segmentation therefore avoids any user-intervention dependency. The first region-growing algorithm ... (Read Full Article)

We propose a novel method for speckle reduction for optical coherence tomography based on angular compounding by B-scan Doppler-shift encoding (AngularCBD). By decentering the probe beam from the pivot of a scanning mirror, the illumination angle represented by different components of the beam can be encoded in Doppler shift. Compounding multiple images reconstructed from different Doppler-shift bands, we can suppress speckle without sacrificing image acquisition speed.
